CNN panel fires back at liberal commentator defending Harris from skipping Rogan podcast

A CNN panel shut down political commentator Bakari Sellers on Tuesday after he defended Vice President Kamala Harris by skipping an interview with Joe Rogan.

“Let’s talk again about how arrogant Joe Rogan is, just one second, I need to add a footnote from the Harris campaign. And how Joe Rogan really wanted the Vice President of the United States to come to Austin, Texas to sit in his place. when he said and he agreed to do the interview, but they had to do it for an hour in Washington, DC because he’s actually the Vice President of the United States,” Sellers told the panel.

“For someone to have the courage to believe that the vice president must come to me, I think that is a false footnote that needs to be added,” he added.

Rogan said that Harris had the opportunity to come and do an interview with him while he was in Texas, and he said that he had an open invitation. The Harris campaign reportedly wanted Rogan to come to Washington, DC for an interview and said they could only do it for an hour. Former president Trump joined Rogan for a three-hour pre-election interview at his studio in Austin, Texas.

Annie Linskey of the Wall Street Journal reminded traders that the Democratic Party has always said it is willing to meet voters where they are.

“It was an easy way out of the interview, he has a plane, he can go anywhere,” said Republican strategist Brad Todd.

Axios reporter Alex Thompson said Harris was already in Houston, Texas, at the same time.

“I think if he wanted to do an interview, he would have done it,” CNN anchor Kasie Hunt said.

Sellers pushed back and defended the vice president again, adding, “Kamala Harris is not the only president of the United States. Kamala Harris is also the Vice President of the United States of America. And we’re not going to say ‘Oh, okay. , that, she can .’ It doesn’t work like that.”

Todd responded by commenting that Rogan has a large audience.

“Donald Trump is also a former president, and he went to Austin,” Thompson said. Dealers said Trump was “not working,” and said Harris had a job.

“It’s not a lot of jobs for a vice president,” Linskey said before the team left for business.
